At only 19 years old, this band is ready to fill the boots of the Ramones and become legends themselves.

With their unique style of psychedelic garage and a mix of R&B, Okamoto's have been likened to The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Stooges.

Okamoto's come with a message, barely 19 and they already have the fire and passion to take over the world questioning the forefathers of Rock itself. They do not simply know, but have the courage to ask Bob Dylan if in fact " The times have actually changed" and of course still maintain the punk rock mentality in asking why are they not learning about rock in school. They have the guts of fearless teenagers, scaring us one adult at a time. Live shows that make the blood curdle at the fact that they have only just graduated from high school, the old are afraid, the young are eating it up. They really are a horrifying band!

June of 2009 saw them release their debut album "Here are Okamoto's" and with over 100 live shows under their belt, Okamoto's are going to just get better and scarier with every step they take. So get on that "Rocket to Japan" because everyone is going to wanna dance with these guys

オレの話を聞いとくれ
カワイイあの娘の話しさ
口から飛び出すウソ話
いつだってオイラうんざり
男を乗り換えまた一人
だまされた
今まで何人の男が
あの娘の部屋で眠ったのか

電話もメールも通じない
オレの気持ちも通じない
男を乗り換えまた一人
だまされた

おうい!ハッキリしておくれ!
オレはお前の何なんだ!?
ヘイ!あの娘は平然と
嘘偽り無いと嘘をつく
男を乗り換えまた一人
だまされた

In OKAMOTO'S song "The M Song," the lyrics depict a frustrated and somewhat jaded narrator who is tired of hearing lies from a cute girl. The singer expresses their exasperation with the constant stream of falsehoods that come out of her mouth. It seems like the girl has a habit of manipulating and deceiving men, as the singer mentions that they have been fooled and replaced by other guys multiple times before. The girl's ability to effortlessly lie and deceive is emphasized when the singer mentions that their phone calls and messages go unanswered, and their feelings remain unacknowledged.

The chorus of the song captures the singer's increasing frustration, as they demand for the truth and question their place in the girl's life. They feel confused and hurt by the girl's actions and are looking for clarity and honesty from her. However, the girl continues to weave her lies, as the singer realizes once again that they have been deceived and replaced by another guy.

Overall, "The M Song" delves into themes of deception, manipulation, and the feelings of frustration and confusion that arise from being involved with someone who constantly lies and deceives.
